Thankyou for your help and I am sorry to bother you. Daniel Calderon.

Hello Peter, Now I can get in an int variable, some variables from FS, but I have a little problem because whe I read, for example the Throttle lever, which takes 2 bytes I get it in an int variable with a timer event, then I put it in a Label with the IntToStr() function. For a prop engine, the range for that variable is suposed to be 0-16384, but I read some kind of random values; when full throttle, sometimes appear 16384 but sometimes I see 19021824 and I do not anything, where I am wrong? Why doesn't the variable stay steady ? what does that number mean? (19021824) Thanks, Daniel

Thanks and Thanks again Peter, now it worked, I learned C in the university but I wasn't too smart to manage pointers. It worked perfect. Daniel Calderon. Medellin Colombia

Sorry, but that is exactly the problem I have. I'm using Borland C++ Builder, and following the example in the SDK, I try to get that variable like this: int inGear; ... ... .........FSUIPC_Read(0xBEC, 4, inGear, &dwResult) But when compiling, there is a problem because it says that it cannot convert int to void*, but if I declare inGear as a char array it works! ¿? So i get 4 independent bytes each one as an element of the char array. Where is the problem?

Thanks Pete, Now I am started. but I have a problem with the reading of the variables. for example, the offset 0x0BE8 that refers to the Gear control, is suposed to be 4 bytes length ( 0=Up, 16383=Down, according to the table), so in the calling to the function FSUIPC_Read, what kind of variable Do I have to assign to get that 4 bytes, and how can I convert those 4 bytes to an integer number. Thanks Again.

Hello, I am just begining in this and I have not find enough information to start. What I need is information about how to connect external programs with the FS trought FSUIPC, how to read/write values, and I need to understand what an offset is! If anyone could help me with some information, I0ll apreciate it. Thanks. Daniel Calderon Medellin - Colombia
